Introduction
============


plone.app.discussion is the commenting system used since Plone 4.1.
It was initially developed as part of the Google Summer of Code 2009 by Timo Stollenwerk (student) and Martin Aspeli (mentor).



Add-on Products
===============

- `collective.autoresizetextarea
  <https://pypi.org/project/collective.autoresizetextarea/>`_
  (for auto-resizing the comment textarea while typing)

- `plone.formwidget.captcha
  <https://pypi.org/project/plone.formwidget.captcha/>`_
  (for Captcha spam protection)

- `plone.formwidget.recaptcha
  <https://pypi.org/project/plone.formwidget.recaptcha/>`_
  (for ReCaptcha spam protection)

- `collective.akismet
  <https://pypi.org/project/collective.akismet/>`_
  (for Akismet spam protection)

- `collective.z3cform.norobots
  <https://pypi.org/project/collective.z3cform.norobots/1.1/>`_
  (provides a "human" captcha widget based on a list of questions/answers)

Note: not all of these may be compatible with the current version of ``plone.app.discussion`` and ``Plone`` itself.


Documentation
=============

There is initial `documentation <https://pythonhosted.org/plone.app.discussion/>`_ but it is outdated.
You will still get a feel for how the package is structured though.
